To maximize that investment and extend the life of your mannequins, proper care is essential. Keep the following maintenance tips in mind to help your displays stay in excellent condition.<\/p>\n<h2>Keep Your Hands Clean When Dressing Mannequins<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Make sure you have clean hands before you dress your mannequins.<\/strong> Always wash your hands before styling a mannequin, especially one with a matte finish. Many stains and marks are caused by dirty hands. Washing your hands thoroughly helps prevent unsightly fingerprints and discoloration.<\/p>\n<h2>Handle Mannequins Carefully During Moves<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Take care when moving your mannequins.<\/strong> If you need to disassemble a mannequin before moving it, do so carefully. Never force a limb into place. Doing so can damage the fitting and lead to costly repairs.<\/p>\n<h2>Avoid Using Tape or Velcro<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t stick cello tape or double-sided Velcro to your mannequins.<\/strong> Removing tape or Velcro can pull off paint and damage the finish. If clothing does not fit correctly, use pins on the fabric instead. Avoid attaching anything directly to the mannequin.<\/p>\n<h2>Clean Mannequins on a Regular Schedule<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Clean your mannequin regularly.<\/strong> Wipe your mannequin with a damp cloth and a gentle soap or mild detergent every few weeks. Regular cleaning helps maintain a fresh, professional appearance.<\/p>\n<h2>Protect Mannequins from Sun Damage<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Be on the lookout for sun damage.<\/strong> Avoid leaving the same mannequin in a display window for months at a time. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading and discoloration, especially on mannequins with painted faces. Rotate mannequins regularly to reduce the effects of sun exposure.<\/p>\n<h2>Replace Worn or Outdated Mannequins<\/h2>\n<p>Remember, the best way to prolong the life of your mannequins is to care for them properly.<\/p>\n<p>If the time has come to replace or update your display mannequins, visit us at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.subastralinc.com\/mannequins.html\" target=\"_blank\">www.subastralinc.com &#8211; Mannequins<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Purchasing mannequins for your store can be a significant investment.
